Hey guys,
I want to determine the inductance of a toroid core + winding as shown in .jpg
I specify an external current density, such that the current flows around the core (in r and z direction).
Under magnetic fields I set Components to In-plane vector.
But it won't converge, I get the message:
Failed to find a solution.
The relative residual (61) is greater than the relative tolerance.
Returned solution is not converged.
I already set some 1S/m conductivity for air and core material, doesn't help.
It would converge, if I set Components to Out-of-plane vector, but then the magnetic field is zero, because all currents are in plane...
I don't want to use a 3D model, since I want to run a sweep through hundreds of simulations... so I really need to get the 2D model running.
I hope somebody can help me out here.
Michael
